SpringWorks Festival – PuppetWorks
SpringWorks’ programming spans the seasons.
We provide a safe place for local, regional, national and international artists to showcase their works and an opportunity for Stratford audiences to experience new and diverse work in their own community.
This is a place for independent creation, a springboard for new work, nurturing and supporting artistic endeavours and art forms often more easily accessed in larger urban centres. SpringWorks hosted their first PuppetWorks festival in 2018, and has been programming work from puppeteers from around the world ever since.
